Nice times. Did you do any runs without NOS?

Not last night mate. I'm waiting for the time when i run out half track and spew fuel out the back :) Best run without gas was 13.471 @ 104.56 (2.2 60').

2rismo, what kind of nos setup are you running

It's a butchered kit that i threw together. Mostly NOS. Wet.

coz it defeates the purpose of this thread title about the fastest time with stock turbo i recon.

If you read the first post it will all become clear.... Jeez, some people.... You just miss the point completely...!!!!!

Anyway good effort, u must be running atleast a 100hp shot of nos

Wrong.

IMHO I think the reason you're getting a bit of flack is due to the thread title itself, it contains no reference to nitrous assistance. Whack a 'nitrous assisted' in the thread title to make it clear perhaps?

Some people may read the thread title and skim through the posts and think your full of shite as your comparing stock turbo + nitrous vs. stock turbo no nitrous. It's a bit of an "apples vs. oranges" situation.

The question was:

What is the quickest ET / MPH that an R32/R33/R34 GTS-T/GTT has run with the std turbo intact and untouched?

It doesn't need to, the question was 'stock turbo'. Adrian is using a stock turbo so where is the problem?

I'm personally not a huge fan of Nitrous simply because I want my car to be able to do the same on the street as it does on the track but hell a full 1 second gain just from adding 50hp of NOS is something i'd highly enjoy doing even if it is just for that 12.5sec every Wed nite.

Everybody:

If you read the first paragraph of the first post it will ALL BECOME CLEAR!!!

It is in English, isn't it? Look. I have been researching the whole nitrous oxide use thing for years now. Along the way, I have come across NUMEROUS suggestions that it is 'better' or 'more worthwhile' or 'not cheating, you cheating bastard' to upgrade the turbo on my/any car. What I'm trying to show is that this is that nitrous oxide use IS a valid, effective AND relatively cheap method of making more power and going quicker.

I am not big-noting myself by comparing my 12.5 run or any other runs for that matter with anyone elses. I mean, some people have gone high 12's with no gas!!!

The point is this, I have spent significantly less than what I would have in upgrading the turbo to get similar results. End of story. I hope it is a bit clearer now.

Dear oh dear, you guys are taking this faaar too seriously :) Chill out fellas.

I couldn't agree more, nitrous is a great low cost way to make solid hp gains. It's not exactly anything that wasn't already well known. Some people think it's cheating, once again nothing new there either!

I personally think nitrous is a great little addition. However, the cost/hassle of going for a bigger turbo (plus the other upgrades this requires) is worth it for the permanent hp gains achieved. Gains that can be used 24/7.

Edit: From memory Adrian posted $100 for a 10lb bottle refill. Which lasts 200secs at 50hp. That's a lot of 12sec passes!

On a totally different issue, does anyone know what the fine is for using NOS on the street?

I've got a theory thats its cheaper than the fine for running without a Cat....10rwhp vs 100rwhp....

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
